Petalia Docs
Everything about growing your island, the power formula and the PETAL economy. Numbers on this page come straight from the game.
Getting started
Petalia runs in any modern browser — desktop or phone. Open Play, create your gardener (girl or boy, name, skin and hair) and you land in the town square.
- Pick a seed from the bottom bar and click an empty plot.
- Water it when 💧 appears above the plot. Flowers grow in 3 stages; water at each stage.
- When it blooms it produces ⚡ power for days.
- Your power gives you a share of the daily PETAL pool.

Flowers
| Flower | Seed price | Power ⚡ | Lifetime | Grow time | Unlock | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🌼 Daisy | $0.20 | 50 | 6 days | 30 s | Start | |
| 🌷 Tulip | $0.40 | 130 | 6 days | 54 s | Start | |
| 🌹 Rose | $1.50 | 350 | 8 days | 96 s | 150 PETAL earned | |
| 🌙 Moonflower | $0.80 | 260 | 6 days | 60 s | 60 PETAL earned | Night only · Glows |
| 🪷 Crystal Lotus | $5.00 | 1100 | 10 days | 165 s | 600 PETAL earned | Glows |
Bloomed flowers keep producing power until they wilt at the end of their lifetime. A ✨ golden flower (5% from Mystery Seed Bags) gives 3× power. Planting two different blooming flowers side by side has a small chance to create a hybrid seed.
Power & earnings
Your total power is calculated every second:
power = (flowers × plot level + decor + animals × feed bonus)
× (1 + collection bonus) × (1 + pet bonus)
× (1 + arena + crystals + golden fish + potions + happy cats)
Every day 4,000 PETAL is shared between all players by power:
your PETAL per day = 4,000 × your power ÷ total network power
During the demo the other players are simulated. The ⚡ box at the top of the screen opens a breakdown of where your power comes from.
PETAL & prices
All prices are set in US dollars and converted to PETAL with a live quote that refreshes every 60 seconds, so a seed always costs about the same in dollars even if PETAL moves.
- 50% of every PETAL spent is burned (removed from supply).
- 50% goes to the treasury (reward pool and development).
- Night-market items are fully burned.
Extra plots cost: $0.15, $0.30, $0.50, $0.80, $1.10, $1.70, $2.40, $3.40, $4.60, $6.30, $8.40, $11.00. Mystery Seed Bag: $0.60. Health potion: $0.20. Auto sprinkler: $1.00.
Farm & animals
The farm lies behind the Farm Gate ($1.20). It has four barns; each holds up to four animals.
| Barn | Price | Slots |
|---|---|---|
| Barn 1 | $0.80 | 4 animals |
| Barn 2 | $1.50 | 4 animals |
| Barn 3 | $2.50 | 4 animals |
| Barn 4 | $4.00 | 4 animals |
| Animal | Price | Power ⚡ |
|---|---|---|
| 🐔 Chicken | $0.60 | 30 |
| 🐄 Cow | $2.40 | 120 |
Animals give permanent power and never wilt. Feed them harvested flowers for +50% animal power (1 flower = 30–300 seconds depending on the flower).
Bees & alchemy
Build up to 3 hives ($1.50 each) in the fenced bee garden. Bees feed on the nectar of your blooming flowers: more flowers, more honey. Give them daisy syrup (2 daisies) for 15 minutes of double honey.
At the alchemy table in your bag you can brew:
- ⚗️ Power Potion — 1 hour +10% power
- ✨ Growth Dust — 1 hour 1.5× faster growth
- 🎣 Fish Bait — your next catch is a golden fish
Fishing
Tap the Fishing sign at the pond. Your gardener walks to the pier and casts. When the bobber dips, press REEL IN! quickly.
- 5 species: Anchovy, Carp, Sea Bass, Trout, Pike — each with a weight record.
- ✨ Golden fish: 6% chance, +1% permanent power each (max 10).
- Give fish to the island cats: 1 fish = 10 min +5% power, and they sometimes bring you seeds.
- Fish are 30% heavier on weekends.

Saves & safety
- The game saves automatically; a backup is kept every 5 minutes (last 15).
- A save that is much emptier than the previous one is rejected and the richer backup is kept.
- If the game is opened in a second tab or a newer version, the old tab pauses to prevent double rewards.
- Every spend and reward is written to an action log; errors are logged instead of silently ignored.
- Disabled buttons always tell you why (not enough PETAL, max level, locked…).
- The admin panel (Ctrl + Shift + A) can search the log, restore backups and export or import your save.
FAQ

I lost progress — what now?
Open the admin panel (Ctrl + Shift + A) and restore one of the automatic backups.
Why can't I enter the farm?
Open the Farm Gate first; until then the farm stays locked behind the fence.
